Especially since the University didn't have "the good of the adjunct" in mind. :)Terminal Degreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523014953046778630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18155604.post-21608427175512864212008-12-21T15:06:00.000-07:002008-12-21T15:06:00.000-07:00Wow, thanks for this.
